"#MDOT adjusts speed limit on #US-23 #FlexRoute | #WEMU-FM"
- Sorry for my ignorance but I learned about the flex route for the first time by reading this article. I use the section of the US-23 often but had no idea why it was showing 60mph and had never drove at the speed. Glad they stopped doing that.

MDOT adjusts speed limit on US-23 flex route

Commuters on US-23 between M-14 and M-36 may have noticed a slight change to the Flex Route. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has removed the flex lane’s 60-mph speed limit as of Thursday. WEMU’s Ana Longoria reports.

I like this idea. Sounds like a return to the public financing system that was often used circa 1972-2012. #CampaignFinanceReform is a local issue. #AnnArbor #Ypsilanti #Michigan #WEMU #Politics #USPol https://www.wemu.org/wemu-news/2024-05-31/grassroots-group-is-looking-to-change-the-way-elections-are-financed-in-ann-arbor

@lisawilliams Yes, I agree. I've got the APNews homepage bookmarked, seems to be quality reporting. I get most of my national and international news from them, NPR and the Guardian. I also donate to my local NPR station, #WEMU, they're pretty much the only reputable local news org, I'd have no idea what's going on in my hometown without them. Good news orgs are an endangered species, gotta preserve 'em!
@gbhnews There are people in the #fediverese who are sincerely interested in content from public media sources. We’re not just looking for “hot takes” that “go viral”. We’re interested in intelligent communication. And some of us are willing to support it by donating to public media outlets. I do! #WEMU #WTVS 📻📺📡👍😁
